Tie-Breaker:

In the Tie-Breaker round, players with equal victories will be divided into games as necessary (2-8 players per game). Number of tied players will determine number of games played. All winners of Tie-Breaker games advance. (Note: 2-player Tie-Breakers will be determined by winner of 2/3 games)

A general NO COLLUSION policy will be requested: it will be against tournament rules to form alliances against players based on how many games in the tournament they have won so far. Violators will be chastised.

Pickle, I appreciate the crap out of your enthusiasm. You do have a net NEGATIVE 833 points on the classic map though. Will you be offended if I put you in the reserves and see if there's space in a couple days?

All above here are in or in reserves (due to lower MapRank). I'm going to give this another day or two, but I may end up just adding everyone into the main player pool so we don't have to wait forever to get this started.
